To register for Special Needs Recreation, a participant must meet the Program Eligibility and complete an Participant Membership Form annually. Once Membership Form is on file, participant is eligible to attend events of their choice. Most programs allow participants to just show up, but select programs require additional registration. See current newsletter by visiting our Special Needs page for program details.

Programs are designed for individuals ages 13 and up (no maximum age). We have select programs that are available to individuals under the age of 13; however, those participants can attend our teen/adult programs with the supervision of a parent or guardian.

Our programs are primarily staffed by City Staff, individual volunteers and Community Groups. Individual volunteers undergo a Level 2 Background check prior to volunteering. Our volunteer to participant ratio for most events is 1:5. If a participant needs more attention than that, we recommend they attend events with a caretaker, parent, etc. or contact our office to make other arrangements.

Sparklers Cheerleading runs from fall through spring. New members are added onto the squad when a previous member leaves the team. Please contact our office to get your name placed on the waiting list and you will be contacted when an opening is made available.
